I bought the 16gb flash drive from BB that is on sale for $39.99 but when i try to copy a 4.35gb file to it windows is telling me it is full.
I have already tried formatting it again and i can transfer 800mb files to it with no issues.
Has anyone heard of this?

Coz your USB drive is in FAT32 format right now .... Format it in NTFS and you're gold. ...

Alternatively you can use WinRar to split the file

It's probably formatted as FAT32 which has a file size limit of 4gigs.
